I was walking without shoes last night and stepped on a rock with my heel. The heel of my foot started hurting and I couldn't put any weight on it for the rest of the night. Today there is a bump where I stepped on the rock, which I assume is due to swelling. It doesn't hurt unless I put weight on it. What happened and what can I do to help it heal faster?

I have serious weight and body issues, but I want to go and enjoy myself. I know that realistically I wont be able to lose ALL the weight I'd like to before that, but is there any good ideas for losins some weight and toning and firming up so I at least look alright(I may not be as thin as I want but I wont be embarassed either)?? Any advice will really help and I'm really willing to make diet changes and exercise more. Thank you so much!!!!!

I'm fifteen, 5'1", and weigh about 88 pounds. For health reasons, I'm supposed to gain weight, but doing so is difficult because I don't want to get "big," if you know what I mean. Today, my mom's making pancakes in a few hours, so she told me to have a light breakfast. I wasn't hungry but knew that I should probably eat something. She wouldn't let me drink just a glass of milk because she wants me to gain some pounds, so I ate a banana. The banana was black on the peel in some places and it felt pretty soft. Later, though, I felt bad because I could've eaten a rice cake for only 50 cals instead of the 100 and something cals in the banana. I didn't even drink milk with the banana because I felt guilty. But, again, I could have eaten the rice cake without any milk and have had less cals. I don't know if what I did was right or wrong...I'm thinking the banana had more nutrients, but don't really know since it might have been overripe.

I am a marathon runner, who's really slowed down over the years.
I went from a 2:40 marathon to a 4:48... sick! I did every kind of training to try and put a stop to this downward spiral and nothing works. Could toxicity has something to do with this?

Should medical decisions be made by the patient and the person who has the medical training, who has the medical experience, and who has the most intimate contact with the circumstances; or should the decisions put into the hands of bureaucrats?

They both occured at the same time while I was playing golf, so it seems they may have been triggered by allergies??? It is very uncomfortable. I have been putting hot compresses on my eyes and taking Benadryl. Not sure if I should call an eye doctor or an allergist. Also was hoping for advice on what I can do to lessen the pain until I can get in to see a doctor.

I went to sleep at about 12:45 last night and woke up at about 3:40. I was just laying on my pillow thinking, when all of the sudden it felt like something hit me in the head really hard. I've had concussions from football and been in a car crash so it kind of felt like that.
It hit me hard and then slowly wared off over about 5 seconds. I almost lost consciousness but I managed to stay awake. My first thought was that maybe a tree hit the house but it didn't. Then I thought maybe earthquake, but nothing had falling off my shelves and everyone else in the house (including my dogs) were still asleep. My only other guess is that maybe I had a seizure or something. I was so spooked I didn't get back to sleep for another hour. Can anyone help me?

To start, I feel off a ladder, two steps, and hurt my foot - thought nothing of it, just thinking I sprained it. Until I was feeling and hearing popping noises and having pain. Went to the doc and found out that I broke a bone but it healed and I have bone fragments floating about. So I have had surgery on my foot to remove two pieces of bone back in September and all went well. But for two months now I have had mild to severe right leg thigh pain. I am a retail manager so I am on my feet constantly, but when I have a chance to rest it will hurt and sometimes it will hurt even if I am on it. It aches, burns and sometimes have stabbing pains along with a brief cold feeling. Those pains are off and on but what is constant more than anything is a dull ache and pain near the inner thigh near the knee. There is no skin discoloriation or swelling. And sometimes it hurts to walk. I have seen my podiatrist and he gave me a referal to see the Physical Therapist. The PT did two sessions with me on the pain in the thigh with light therapy and an electro one. By my third session she said do you feel any better and I said no. So she told me to go see the Orthopedic, so I did. The Ortho doc looked me over, moved my leg around and touch certain areas to trigger the pain. Unfornatly, I had a good day with no pain and nothing seem to set it off. So she had no idea - she gave me a question mark in my file. But when I left to go home I was feeling pain so I went back up to see her and she didn't even see me - the nurse offered me medicine. The day after my appointment I still had the pain and the next day after that I was in extreme pain to the point that I was about to cry. And now I am not that much in pain - finally subsided. But this pain is off and on so that is why the doc had no clue. - Where do I go to? I was wondering if this is another issue not related to the surgery or accident. Or it is arthritis and it hurts the foot as well as the leg. Please help.

I can do the wieght (145 lbs) easily for my legs, but i can not stand the wieght on my shoulder due to the amount of pain. I was wondering is it something around the house that can cure, or do u think i need to get a doctor's opinion and expensive tests to get done?

I need help! About a couple of days ago my ear started to slighty. I thought it was just an earache but it did not go away! I told my mom about it and she told me to take some ear drops. I took them twice yesterday but then it hurt worse! So my mom gave me some pain relievers and it did not help at all! I could not lay on that side last night because it hurts when anything touches it (even on the outside). I finally went to sleep, but when I woke up this morning it still hurts! I can not hear out of that ear. I tried Q-tips to see if something was blocking it. Nothing was but it hurts so much!! Please....what do I do?

P.S. mom said the doctor would just give me more ear drops and they are not working for me.
